When I try to change the ringtone and close the Settings screen, the changes I made to the ringtone option are not stored. I have tried to change the ringtone via several different ways, but no matter where I change it, it doesn't seem to stick.

Does anyone know if there are some software that gives me the possibility to define different sound setups and store them for quick access and change?
If I go into a meeting I want to change the ring tone and the sms notification sound to something that no one else will pay attention to. To do this change manualy takes too long when the meeting has started. It has to be done quick and unintrusive.
The ideal way to solve this is (in my opinon) to have icons on the today screen, one icon for each sound setup. One tap to change both ringtone and sms sound.

I am using MortScript for this, here is how I do it.
I have different ringtones in a folder A. The ringtones that are assigned to an event are in a different folder B.
For every sound setup, I have a different script; this script copies files from the folder A and overwrites the assigned soundfiles in folder B.
Furthermore, the script also changes the vibrate function using a registry setting and shows an indication on the todayscreen (with rlToday or a registry hack, both work but I'm not sure which I like best).
Changing to a different soundsetup is then a matter of launching the apropriate script.

I use Pocket Zen Phone for this purpose.
Everything was fine until I realized I cant change my custom ringtone anymore. Whatever ringtone I set the custom one would ring even though it showed the other one is selected. So I deleted the ringtone and then was able to change it.
However only after a little while the phone just stopped ringing, the default tone seems to be silent and whatever I put it wont change. I put back my custom ringtone, rebooted, then deleted all the custom ringtones again and yet I am unable to get my phone to ring.
I have tried setting a ringtone through playerpro music player as well but to no avail.
The notification sound comes as normal. I am running stock unrooted 4.0.4. What should I do?
Figured out the problem. There were some specific contacts that did not have a ringtone assigned to them and my own second phone was one of them from which I was doing the testing. I was using a profile scheduler app previously and in that I had put some of the contacts on the whitelist to allow them to call me even on silent mode. So it was the app which was controlling those contacts and even after uninstalling it the settings hadnt defaulted.
Ok, I need a little help, as this problem has me stumped.
I wanted to set a custom notification sound, so I copied 2 new mp3 files to /sdcard/media/audio/notifications. Normally this should allow me to select those sounds as notification sounds from the sound settings, but this time it didn't work (I have done it successfully before). I then proceeded to open the files in ES File Explorer, selected Play and Set as Ringtone, Notification Tone. That worked and the sound was set as the default notification tone. BUT, here's the kicker, when I now go to settings - Sound - Notification Sound, on the screen where you can set the Default notification, Messages, Calendar, Mail and Notice, I am no longer able to select any tones for each of these categories. When I go into Default notification, where I used to get a list of notification sounds, there is no list anymore, and the Apply button is greyed out. Same with the other notification categories.
I've tried selecting a different notification sound through ES File Explorer, and that changed the Default again, but I still can't get a list to load in the settings screen. I've already tried clearing data and defaults for the ES File Explorer, Music and Android System under Apps in settings, but that didn't fix it either. I've rebooted just to make sure it wouldn't correct itself, no luck. I'm stuck. I would like to have the ability again to set these different categories of notification sounds. Can anyone help?
I ended up restoring a backup to fix this issue. Problem solved.
I have a Nexus 5 running stock marshmallow, 6.0.1. I'm trying to set a custom SMS notification for a single contact. When I edit a contact, there is an option to "set ringtone". I don't see any way to set the notification. Is it possible using stock android or do I need an application?
Also, when I select "set ringtone", it provides 9 options including default ringtone and none. I was able to set a specific ringtone when I wanted to return it to default ringtone the option was not available. I was able to return it to default by deleting and recreating the contact. Any idea why it provides different ringtones after you change it? Is there another way to return to default ringtone other than deleting and recreating?
Samsung AO2s. I am not able to change the ringtone as it always reverts to a particular ringtone in the ringtone file. I don't like that tone and what can I do to make the one I like to make it permanent? It seems it just want s to use the one it picked which seems like a notification.
